Great importance is attached to the word "love". It is very interesting to know where this word came from and what it means in general.
Instructions
Step 1
In dictionaries, you can find a lot of different information, many articles. But practically nowhere is there information about the appearance of this word. There is a so-called "working" version of the interpretation. And it consists of several words: "people", "god", "know". It turns out this option: people know God.
Scripture says that: "God is Love." So, then, what holiness this word carries! And man is God in his understanding, if he loves. And yet, many minds continue to torment over this riddle, over this mystery. It is not subject to logic, not subject to reason. She has her own laws. Even scientists - physiologists, chemists, physicists, biologists - are trying to explain love, to give it a precise definition. Even such experts on human souls as psychologists are powerless in the face of this mystery.
Step 2
Sages in ancient times gave love such a qualification, highlighting its sides:
Eros is love with a kind of physical attraction to the object, it is all-consuming love, it is physical intimacy.
Storge is a quiet love, calm, which unites both physical and spiritual attraction to its object.
Filia is more affection than love itself. This feeling is rather friendly.
Agape is unconditional love, which carries in itself purity to the highest and the beautiful. Love is uplifting, and there is no physical subtext in it.
Step 3
If there is only passion, sexual desire, then it quickly fades away, just as it suddenly flares up. Only emotional unity, spiritual connection are able to keep love for a long time and strengthen relationships.
